يوم الفراقِ لَقَدْ فَرَّقْت من جَلَدِي

يوم الفراقِ لَقَدْ فَرَّقْت من جَلَدِي

ما لم يكن قبل وَشْكِ البينِ مفترِقا

ما لم يكن قبل وَشْكِ البينِ مفترِقا

O day of parting, you have indeed scattered my fortitude,

The day we parted, you truly broke my determination

which had not been scattered before separation drew near.

In a way it had never been broken before our separation

شَتَّتَّ صَبْرِي وظاهرت الشجونَ على

شَتَّتَّ صَبْرِي وظاهرت الشجونَ على

قلبِي وَسُقْتَ إلى أَجْفانِي الأَرَقا

قلبِي وَسُقْتَ إلى أَجْفانِي الأَرَقا

You scattered my patience and aided sorrows against

You shattered my patience and brought grief

my heart, and drove sleeplessness to my eyelids.

To my heart, and deprived my eyes of sleep

إذا تَذَكَّرْتُ فاضت مُقْلَتي بدَمٍ

إذا تَذَكَّرْتُ فاضت مُقْلَتي بدَمٍ

وإن تَأوَّهْت ذابت مهجتي حُرَقا

وإن تَأوَّهْت ذابت مهجتي حُرَقا

When I remember, my eye overflows with blood;

When I remember, my tears flow

and if I sigh, my soul melts in burning anguish.

And when I sigh, my soul melts in sorrow

وإن رَجَعْتُ إلى قلبي لأعذِله

وإن رَجَعْتُ إلى قلبي لأعذِله

وجدته باختياري ذاب واحترقا

وجدته باختياري ذاب واحترقا

And if I return to my heart to reproach it,

And when I return to reproach my heart

I find it has melted and burned by my own choice.

I find it has melted and burnt by my own choice

فَمَن مُجِيريَ ممّا قد جَنَيتُ على

فَمَن مُجِيريَ ممّا قد جَنَيتُ على

قلبي وخِذلان رأيي زادَني قلقا

قلبي وخِذلان رأيي زادَني قلقا

So who will shelter me from what I have inflicted on

So who will protect me from what I have brought

my heart? And my judgment's failure has made me more anxious.

Upon my heart, and my failed judgment has only brought me more distress
